"In less than an hour, we have lost nearly 180,000 tons of merchant ships, the cargo on board, and the fuel oil, which is vital to the Mediterranean Fleet. Don't you think it's a disgrace to the empire? It took us so long to fight an Italy! Since the start of the war, the bombing of the Air Force has been going on for more than 1 month! Can't we hurry up and end this qiē? Wilhelm II's angry roar echoed through the hall.

Compared with the history of another time and space, it seems that the efficiency of the Germans is much lower, how long did it take Germany to sweep away Poland and return to destroy France? And now that Germany is more powerful in this plane, and with the help of Austria-Hungary, why is it so entangled to fight Italy? The reason is very simple, the historical Germany was doing its best against Poland and France, and this plane because of geographical limitations, the strong German and Austrian land forces are not suitable for development, and more importantly, Germany and Austria still have some scruples about using the army on a large scale to launch a ground war against Italy, at least the French increased the deployment of troops on the new defense line still makes Germany a little worried, and the assistance of Britain and the United States also makes Germany feel that launching a large-scale ground war may provoke a new world war.

Therefore, for various reasons, Germany and Austria never considered sending a large army from the north to cross the mountains into Italy, but considered controlling air supremacy in the Adriatic Sea and then conducting landing operations. Then there was a month-long aviation battle, in which both sides dropped countless planes, but it was always difficult to make a key breakthrough! And now, that missing air wing has appeared in East Africa. And a whole convoy of transport ships was sent to the bottom of the sea with a single photo, which made Wilhelm II, who was already a little dissatisfied with the war situation, directly break out!

To be honest, the Luftwaffe fought quite well. In the case of away combat, the Luftwaffe will lose a little, don't forget, the other side still has anti-aircraft artillery, plus some planes that fell due to fuel and malfunction problems when returning home, in fact, the pure air combat exchange still has some advantages over the Germans. But the point is that the Entente pilots parachuted back to the base and got a different plane. The German pilots were sent to prison if they were not shot to death by the angry Italians after parachuting, so the situation worsened with the massive loss of experienced pilots of the Imperial Air Army. Although the newcomers from China continue to replenish their losses, if they want to directly defeat the other party, I am afraid they are also a little powerless!

"I am willing to take full responsibility for the losses caused by this accident. For this reason, our Air Force has specially drawn up a plan to make up for it. We decided to immediately send an air force to Jazan on the Red Sea coast, as well as to the island of Socotra. Efforts should be made to establish a convoy system covering the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea in a short period of time. Richthofen had just finished speaking, but before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Wilhelm again.

"What I need is to completely solve the problem of a qiē, what does it mean to be thorough? That is to destroy all the planes of the other side one by one, and here not only East Africa, but also Italy! We've dragged on for too long, and the Imperial Air Force isn't enough, right? It doesn't matter, we can also mobilize Frederick the Great and Vulture Aviation. Haven't you always wanted to prove that it is possible to bring an opponent to its knees with a heavy bomber? Well then, I'll give you this chance. Just do it! You have a month to prepare and implement, and you can mobilize all aviation forces except for alert. Including the newly formed DO11 heavy bomber wing can also be programmed into the battle sequence, anyway, I just want the result. Wilhelm II said impatiently.

In this conflict, the Luftwaffe was also relatively restrained, and it seemed that the Imperial Air Force had a relatively large number of thousands of aircraft, but for the Luftwaffe, it was just a relatively large and complete aviation force. Considering that the Italian Air Force itself has some family background, and that China and the Entente have continued to provide assistance to Italy from afar, it is already very good that one air force and part of the Austro-Hungarian Air Force can fight like this.

"It took me and my brigade a week to cripple the US Air Force at Ravena Airport and clear the way for the brothers in the back, but who knows it's only been a week! The airfield at Ravena was repaired, and then a British Air Force group took over from the Americans who had suffered heavy losses and fought us again! If you can't concentrate enough superior forces to defeat your opponent, then the war can only become a fueling tactic! In the report, a group leader commented on the fighting between the two sides. And before that, Richthofen could not help, because at the beginning, the Kaiser approved only one air force into Austria-Hungary.

But now the situation is different, the power in Richthofen's hands has been directly expanded several times, as long as the Austro-Hungarian side can agree, then two new air armies can be stationed, Frederick the Great Air Force is a medium air force with 800 aircraft, and the Crown Prince's Air Force is another 1,000-machine air force, plus independent heavy bomber wings can be mobilized to participate in the war, even if it is considered that these forces cannot be put in place at once, but in a short period of time, the air force in Richthofen's hands can still be more than doubled!

And that's not all! In order to obtain a good forward base, the Allies played up the idea of Egypt again, as the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy, and in the face of Austria-Hungary and Germany in the north and the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the east, the Egyptian government had almost no room for bargaining, and could only accept the other side's request to allow Allied aircraft to use Egypt's airspace and some airfields. Moreover, these airports requisitioned by the Allies could also be used to station German troops to ensure the security of the airfields. Although it will take some time for these airfields to be requisitioned and deployed, it is clear that if these airfields can be used, then the Allies will have one more attack surface!

After the Kaiser hinted at the need to teach the Italians a profound lesson, Richthofen finally decided to further relax the types and quantities of targets, and at first because of the lack of strength and scruples, the targets of the German and Austrian air forces were mainly the various facilities and fleets of the Italian Navy and the bases and airfields controlled by the Allied reinforcements. Neutral Italian forces were not targeted for bases and armies, and of course it was possible to drop bombs if someone occasionally flew in the wrong direction, but the Germans intended to limit the scope of the strike.

Obviously, such a blow will not solve the problem completely, but this time it is different, the Germans, already enraged, decided to strike at all airfields and military facilities that are rapidly expanding the range, and the Kaiser said this: "We must make those wall-to-wall grasses realize that if they do not become our friends, they are our enemies!" Without the zài third way, everything you think is in the way can be destroyed! "Not only military targets, but also civilian ports and transportation hubs, as the Germans discovered that these civilian transportation facilities were also used by the Italian Navy and the Allies to transport supplies and personnel.

"Bologna can also be targeted, this is the center of the Allied army in the north, there are a lot of supplies piled up, and there are quite a few combat units. Then there's Florence, which is used as a springboard for flights from Corsica to all parts of Italy. At a subsequent meeting, the Kaiser pointed to the two cities on the map.

"Where airports and material distribution centers have been targeted. My Majesty. Richthofen said with some confusion.

"I mean, both cities are targeted, not part of the city! Ribbentrop once said that the people here were more inclined to the Italian navy and were somewhat resistant to our allies, and that their actions had greatly helped the Allies, and that we must punish them. Do you understand? Fundamentally smash these two important points of support for me! I hope that the next time we have a meeting, you will be able to solve this problem. The Kaiser said earnestly. Although the words were calm, they contained an irresistible command.

"It's going to be a very bad start." At the end of the meeting, Richthofen felt a chill welling up in his back at the thought of Wilhelm II's order today! As the boss of the Luftwaffe, he knew very well how terrifying this force was in his hands. "A DO11 (this DO11 is not a historical DO11, here is a number. 4 bombers are calculated according to the bomb load of 2.5 tons, so if the DO11 bombers of 3 wings are concentrated to attack a city, then at least about 700 tons of bombs can be dropped at a time! "This kind of bombing intensity is absolutely impossible to say the same as that of the 1st World War of that year! And this attack will inevitably include some civilian facilities.

"Tell the Wing Commanders below to drop the bomb as far as you can into the target area." Richthofen was also unable to respond to the Kaiser's orders, and he was very dissatisfied with the attack on civilian targets. But that's all he can do, of course, he doesn't care what the bomber wings below do by themselves, so he's left to his fate! "I hope God will forgive us."

In this way, a super-large-scale offensive beyond the estimates of Huaxia and the Entente is about to begin! In order to ensure the concealment of this operation, Germany deliberately did not apply some airfields in the forward areas, but used some deep airfields in Austria-Hungary and the German mainland, anyway, the range of 4-engine bombers and long-range twin-engine bombers was sufficient, and the cover task was handed over to the fighters on the front line. The Germans prepared so stealthily that when this attack came, neither the Italians nor the Entente expected that the real Luftwaffe would be so terrifying!
